Of the many random things I enjoy about my occasional forays back onto the mainland, few rise as high in the rankings as road trips. Take someone like Podge and they would rather eat gruel three meals a day for a week than endure sitting in a car for any length of time. For me though, there is nothing better than hitting the open road, seeing new, random places, eating new food, meeting new people. (and it helps stave off Island Fever…a big plus)
After four cross countries treks and too many multi-state voyages to name, I have amassed quite a collection of favorites. Locations, restaurants, hotels, you name it. Today I share the first of these w/ you, one that I first discovered just outside of my beloved Nashville on the front leg of a journey that took me clear to Missoula…
The Loveless Café.
(Go ahead….click that link and go peruse. I'll wait.)
For those of you that may be uninitiated, the Loveless is first and foremost a mecca to southern cooking. Biscuits. Fried Chicken. Sweet tea. The have other things, but why would you bother?

Want more proof of their heavenly biscuit bliss? Here ya go…

Are biscuits for everybody? No (but they should be). Will you be guaranteed a good time and some fantastic eats? For sure. Will you walk out overly full and cursing me? Possibly.
Will you rush back the first chance you get? Without question…
